Love is in the air ....

Seventeen years ago today RGH plighted his troth to me and I promised to love, honour and obey .....

..... well ..... two out of three ain't bad .....


We've changed a lot since then .....

..... although I do still wear flowers in my hair as often as I can, obviously .....

I spent some time in the attic recently searching for our wedding album, just so that I could create this collage. Please try and remember that in 1991 it was absolutely fine to have MASSIVE brows .....

..... no really, it was .....

And in other celebratory news, it's also my Mum's birthday today ..... what with MiL's birthday on Valentine's Day and my Mum's on our anniversary, I think there's a conspiracy going on to ambush our love life!

I wanted to draw my Mum a little something with my tablet and pen (don't worry, I did send a proper card too), but I thought a monkee may be inappropriate. So I copied this photo of four monkeys instead ..... my siblings and I in our Sunday best (I'm the one with a piggy snout and a finger up it .....)

(hmm, I don't think I'll be giving up the day job anytime soon .....)

So Happy Birthday Mum, and Happy Anniversary RGH ..... I haven't brought you a card, but if you like, I promise to treat you to that thing you like .....



..... you know .....



..... that activity we both enjoy at least once a weekend .....




..... when we're alone .....






..... coffee and muffin .....
